1. Toast the dry spices, including the lime leaves, in a frying pan, add the oil then add the garlic and ginger and cook through for 1 minute. Add the tamarind, soy sauce, Worcester sauce, brown sugar, lemongrass paste, chilli and coconut milk. Bring to a low simmer.
2. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, fry the onion, pepper, mange tout, baby corn until cooked, then add the seitan to warm it through.
3. Carefully remove the cinnamon stick from the curry and pour over the cooked vegetables and seitan, then stir to combine. Serve with rice or griddled pak choi.
